Since its debut in 2005, the Continental Flying Spur — the four-door version of the sexier Continental GT coupe that shares a platform with the Volkswagen Phaeton and Audi A8 — has been a high-profit, high-volume seller for the brand’s caretakers at Germany’s Volkswagen Group. But time has come for a redesign. So ahead of its Geneva show debut, Bentley has released a short video. Although we can’t see the car in its full form, the car’s sheetmetal looks a lot sharper than the outgoing version. As per the recently updated Continental GT, expect a 6.0-litre bi-turbo W12 and Bentley’s new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 as power options.
